OT: Mark Richt reveals Parkinson’s diagnosis

[HailToPitt725]

Sad news. Always thought he was a solid coach and a good person. I wish him and his family the best.

Mark also had a heart attack not long ago; within the last couple of years. Prayers for him and his family.

My father had Parkinson’s. Three of my cousins on my Mother’s side have / had it. It’s a horrible disease.

I worked for Richt in a professional capacity and he's a great guy. Super sad.

My mother had Parkinson's Disease for 6 yrs. It did not kill her. She had a cerebral hemmorage, but I saw the toll it had on her. Sad.........

My dad has been dealing with it for a few years now. He's doing everything he can but it is such a frustrating disease.

He almost became our HC, but declined. Walt Harris was the eventual choice. I wish him well. He seems to have a soft spot for us on the ACCN.
